Notes on the Effect of Surface Distortions on the Drag and Critical Mach Number of Airfoils (open access)

Notes on the Effect of Surface Distortions on the Drag and Critical Mach Number of Airfoils

"The effect of two-dimensional bumps and surface waviness on the pressure distribution over airfoils is considered. It is shown that the results of the analysis may be useful in evaluating the effects of accidental or intended surface distortions on the drag and critical Mach number of airfoils" (p. 1).
